Question for our resident electricians. Are typical MC connectors, the type with the set screw, approved for use with MC Lite? Thanks.

I use a single set screw (BX or AC) mc connector with only steal mc (metal clad) cable, never with aluminum mc cable. It is illegal to use these with MC lite, which is clad with aluminum, where I am at. I don't remember if it is in the NEC book.

Arlington snap in connectors are the way to go IMO. I only use the set screw type when the pop in type won't work for some reason.

Thanks for the replies guys. I picked up some some connectors that are approved for AC/MC/NM.
